As first timers in Skiathos this June, we were expecting the usual welcome we got from the Greeks that we've had elsewhere, so no surprise there.
But we couldn't get over the visitors - it was simply amazing how virtually everybody we passed on the roads in Troulos said hallo, good morning, whatever, and were happy to stop and chat with us.
I guess Skiathos visitors must be just plain nice people!

Perhaps Dennis it is that the visitors to Skiathos are generally more mature in age and not there to frequent bars and nightclubs till 6am.  Maybe it is that it is mainly couples there to just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that exists on the island. It is that sort of place which makes many of us return year after year. |

We've always found Skiathos visitors to be friendly, not like some other islands we've been to.

Dennis, it's not just you and your stay in June wasn't unusual - as others have said, that's Skiathos for you. In visits going back to 1999(so a considerable number of days / nights) I have only ever seen one grumpy person. He appears briefly in front of me on the last morning of every visit when I'm shaving for the trip home!

Yes, I thought it very amusing too. BUT it also reminded me that we have something like 271 days to wait until we go again. [misery smileycon]

Carrying on from this thread, we first went to Skiathos in 1999 and were amazed when complete strangers, perhaps sitting on the next table at a restaurant starting talking to us. Now I know I'm a friendly person and Kathos will vouch for that but we found this lovely. Especially when we got talking to someone who lived half a mile away from us.
